Financial Independence through Cracked Apps-Chapter 136 - 127: Experts Sparring

In an instant, a wave of noise crashed over them.

The thumping music, combined with the roar of the crowd, made Lin Shen, who preferred quiet, frown slightly.

Dazzling lights flashed overhead, and the faint scent of alcohol and smoke drifted through the dim air.

On the stage up front, a female DJ in a spaghetti-strap top and hot pants commanded the crowd. Below, a sea of young bodies swayed freely to the music.

They were all dressed in chic, stylish outfits.

The girls, in particular, generously showed off their fair skin and graceful figures.

Spaghetti-strap tops, hot pants, pleated miniskirts, long legs in black stockings...

It was an overwhelming feast for the eyes.

Naturally, Lin Shen’s eyes were drawn to the sights, which earned him a twinge of jealousy from Aria beside him.

’I guess I’m still not pretty enough.’

"Lin Shen, do you think I’m beautiful?"

Aria took the initiative, pressing her body against his and pulling his wandering gaze back to her face.

"Of course."

Feeling Aria’s firm yet supple body, Lin Shen tightened his right arm around her slim waist, a playful smile gracing his lips.

"You get tired of looking at them after a while. You’re the only girl for me."

"Lin Shen..."

Under the bombardment of Lin Shen’s sweet nothings, Aria was already lost, body and soul, her gaze hazy with infatuation.

She could no longer contain the tempestuous emotions surging within her. She stood on her tiptoes, threw herself into Lin Shen’s arms, and offered up her full lips.

"Mmph—!"

This time, Lin Shen didn’t refuse. In fact, he couldn’t.

Aria’s passion was simply too fierce to resist.

Her full, plush lips were incredibly soft, taking the intensity of their kiss to a whole new level.

If Qin Yuenan’s lips were like cool, refreshing lychees, and Jiang Wan’s were like soft cherries...

Then Aria’s were like cream-filled chocolates, so decadent they made your heart race.

’What a difference!’

Lin Shen could tell that foreign women were generally more forward and passionate about physical intimacy than Chinese women.

She didn’t even need to be led; she matched his every move.

Completely unabashed, unafraid of the many eyes on them.

’So uninhibited.’

After all, if you weren’t embarrassed, then it was everyone else who should be.

The bar promoter leading the way was baffled to see Lin Shen and Aria suddenly stop walking to embrace and kiss.

’They couldn’t even wait until they got to their table?’

Although his job as a promoter meant he’d seen his fair share of rich, handsome men and their beautiful, wealthy counterparts, he couldn’t help but feel a mix of envy and genuine admiration for Lin Shen.

’And with a foreign girl, no less!’

’This guy’s a legend!’

’He’s doing his country proud!’

The promoter was good at reading a situation. He stood quietly, waiting without interrupting them.

But the stares they were getting from others, full of all sorts of emotions, were starting to feel a bit sharp.

Noticing this, Lin Shen patted Aria’s firm, denim-clad bottom with the hand resting on her lower back.

"Let’s get to our table. Too many people here."

"..."

Aria understood and pulled away, a misty sheen in her beautiful eyes.

She lightly licked her full lips, her smile filled with the satisfaction of a predator that had caught its prey.

"Lin Shen, you’re a really good kisser. I love kissing you."

"Just wait. You’ll find there’s a lot more to like."

Lin Shen gave her a meaningful smile.

A match between experts, brief and to the point.

The promoter led them to a table in a corner of the main room.

It was a table with the lowest minimum spend and was some distance from the main stage.

But that suited Lin Shen just fine!

For one, it was away from the clamor of the bar, giving his ears some peace.

For another, there weren’t as many distracting lights; the dim ambiance was much better for flirting.

"Sir, here are your fruit platters and drinks."

Ten thousand yuan could buy hundreds of pounds of fruit and over a dozen bottles of liquor on the outside.

But here in the club, it only got them three fruit platters, two snacks, two bottles of Ace of Spades, and a few beers.

And the gaudy presentation wasn’t even that impressive.

This was exactly why Lin Shen disliked coming to clubs.

He might have money, but he wasn’t a fool to be fleeced.

Clubs were best suited for three kinds of people.

Guys looking to pick up girls, girls fishing for a sugar daddy, and the nouveau riche who basked in the admiring gazes of others.

Clearly, Lin Shen didn’t fit into any of those categories.

And yet, here he was.

’But what could he do? Aria was just too alluring.’

A club was probably the fastest place to accelerate a relationship.

Though Lin Shen figured she’d probably agree even if he suggested getting a room right then and there.

’Still, there’s a process to follow, a right moment to seize, right?’

"Being drunk" was the perfect all-purpose excuse, a convenient explanation for all sorts of inappropriate and excessive behavior.

It was the number one scapegoat, hands down.

"You ordered so much!"

Looking at the drinks, snacks, and fruit platters crowding the table, Aria seemed concerned about his spending.

"Can we finish it all?"

"All that matters is that we have fun."

Lin Shen poured two drinks, handing one to Aria. He casually slung an arm around her shoulder and teased with a smile.

"You didn’t come to a club just to eat, did you?"

"Of course not. I came to drink."

Aria clinked her glass against the smiling Lin Shen’s, then tilted her head back and drained it in one go. Lin Shen couldn’t help but be taken aback.

"You can hold your liquor that well?"

"Drinking is a part of life for us Germans."

Aria raised her empty glass with a slight smile.

As a man, Lin Shen wasn’t about to be shown up. He tilted his head back and downed his own drink in one gulp.

"Impressive,"

Aria couldn’t help but praise him, her beautiful eyes sparkling with admiration.
